Iran's Houthis?

First of all, they are Ansar Allah. Secondly, they function as a government of Yemen. And thirdly, why are you dragging Iran into this?

Sounds like a neocon talking point.

Also, Ansar Allah say that they will stop the Red Sea attacks once Israel stops its genocide in Gaza. And to be honest, they have legitimate complaints against America for funding and supporting the brutal Saudi Arabian regime in its campaign against Yemen. But from what I've heard from them, they don't want to escalate the conflict. So in this case, the US needs to pressure Israel to stop the killing of civilians.

Neo-conservatism is for invading and occupying other nations in hopes of establishing Democracies in them.
Like religious fanaticism, it is a falsehood that must be opposed.
And thirdly, why are you dragging Iran into this?

This is in regard to Iran AND Iranian proxies (Houthis) attacking our people, our interests, and our ships throughout the region. Iran itself has fired ballistic missiles at our locations. This is war. The Houthis are just one part of a much greater conflict that we, up to this point, have been too cowardly to bring to a decisive end. No doubt our administration through they could deescalate this conflict. They were wrong.
  • Iranian military, including their navy, were actively spotting for, if not directing, Houthi targets.
  • Iranian weapons, drones, and ballistic missiles are used by the Houthis.
This is war with Iran. They are attacking us.
Your ignorance must end.

This is a neocon talking point. People like Lindsey Graham, John Bolton and many other US politicians talk like this.

Iran has shown a lot of restraint and maturity despite US and Israel instigations. Trump assassinated their general and ended the nuclear deal. This was a provocation and yet Iran showed restraint. They've been under so many sanctions for decades now and no doubt have suffered so much. Yet, they choose to look the other way despite so many American and Israeli provocations. You do know that Israel has been assassinating Iranian scientists, right? And yet Israel has the nerve to get angry when Iran speaks out against them.

Here is just one of the articles that talk about how much Western sanctions on Iran has hurt the country.

I am not going to address all your points about Iran but dragging them into this conflict is a neocon and Israeli wet dream. And when you say Iran is attacking the US. Well, that is just pure false and sounds like someone who wants to go to war. Be careful what you wish for because Iran is not like the other poor countries the US has bombed over the years.

As for Ansar Allah, they are simply doing what they can to help Palestinians. No one else will. The US will actually fight Yemen, one of the poorest countries in the world, so Israel can continue its genocide in Gaza. And this is after the US helped Saudi Arabia inflict so much damage in Yemen in their war. So the US is doing what it always does - punish poor people.

I agree that targeting Yemen is short sighted. Especially a few missiles.
Iran is the key player here, it is their drones and missiles being used against us. Both in the Middle East and in Ukraine.
Kill Iran, and the problem is solved. And I don't mean lob a few missiles.

Do it soon enough, and this won't need to go nuclear. Wait, and both sides will use nukes.
I see you are repeatedly calling for escalation of the conflict. Are you close to Lindsey Graham or John Bolton?

My question to you and other warmongers is what the hell is the US doing in the Middle East besides bullying countries? Iraq wants you to get the hell out anyway. So does Syria, which the US has illegally occupied a part of for years (in the oil drilling region, for some odd reason).

But no, it is Iran that is the aggressor according to you. Such lies.

the ships shooting down the Houthi drones are protecting the world's interest so that prices of goods being shipped in that area don't skyrocket.

Iran knows damn well how those weapons they are supplying to their proxies will be used.

End the genocide in Gaza and this all stops. The Yemeni government, Ansar Allah, is the only moral country left in the world it seems. After enduring Saudi Arabian atrocities, which were helped by the US, they are once again under attack by the Western governments. But they know what it is like to be a victim of colonialism so they are standing with the Palestinians and actually doing something about it.

You are worried about the price of goods while Israel has killed around 30,000 people for wanting freedom and they are still continuing their war crimes. And now, you have the nerve to bring Iran into this so you can widen this conflict even more. Where is the concrete proof that Iran controls any of these groups, let alone Ansar Allah? All we have are Western neocon talking points. Their thirst for war is never ending.

Just more colonialism and attacks on the poor people of the world.

You have something to add?

Ansar Allah, or Houthis to most people, are actually doing something the cowards in the West won't do. They are doing what they can do cause some damage, mainly economic damage, to a country carrying out a genocide.

US intelligence was wrong about Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, Libya and many others and yet they are right about the Houthis and Iran? This is laughable.


Warmongers gonna warmonger regarding Iran though.

So to be clear you are calling others warmonger while just a few posts ago cheering on a group that is widening the conflict.

Yeah you’re an idiot.

They are the only ones doing something to prevent Israeli genocide, you fuckwad. Notice they haven't sunk any ships. They are simply trying to blockade shipping to a genocidal country along with its accomplices. If trying to stop a genocide is an considered an escalation, then so be it.

Now are you going to make any intelligent posts or should I put you on the ignore list? Your choice.

You are advocating for a wider war. At least be honest. You are no better than Jaskalas in that regard.

I am sorely disappointed in your name calling skills though can you work on that?

I dunno but it seems that the US should be able to strong arm Israel into stopping the genocide in Gaza, that would likely be a way cheaper option than bombing stone buildings in a bombed out country. It seems like America rarely meets a diplomatic problem without force in the middle east, it's like the only thing they think works and it continues to fail and drain away funds/lives and leads to worsening conditions there, while they kowtow to whatever the Israeli's want, and if they don't do what the Israeli's want they (Israel) goes full bore with their political machine against the current president (see Bush Snr ~ https://israelpalestinenews.org/when-george-bush-sr-took-on-the-israel-lobby-and-paid-for-it/ )

If you're referring to Houthi's, not sunk but attempting to sink a cargo ship? Just so you know:

yeah youtube posted that under Jocko Wilink's interview with 3 survivors of the attack.
funny how they do that when the video in question doesn't quite match the established narrative.
but maybe not to you.
